@MichaelGoode Hi Michael. You mention on your blog that you do not use TWS anymore, but you are still using Interactive Brokers. I was just wondering if you are using DAS connected with IB or a different broker for the charts and L2 but use IB to execute orders. Thank you.

Oh sorry, I didn't read that carefully. You replied to someone on your blog that you still use TWS but not time and sales and L2. Do you think DAS level 2 and time and sales is more accurate than IB's?

TWS L2 & time and sales is just as good but I have always considered TWS charts ugly. I have used them in the past but I just find it easier to use DAS Pro and I have to pay for those charts / L2 anyway whereas I don't have to pay for the IB L2 if I don't want it

@TorkersInteractive Brokers are pretty cheap in the industry in general. Maybe someone is cheaper. I would suggest you dedicate a couple of hours work, creating a spreadsheet, with all the price variables, and compare different brokers. There are many fees to consider, so getting a overwiew in a spreadsheet is a great way. Also have in mind (if you prepare to make shortselling) that IB have way better borrows, than Thinkorswim. IB - TSW platform, also comes free. It can really pay to choose the right broker from start, so do the digging. - Link: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=1590

@MichaelGoode Hey again Michael, just a quick question, is it a good idea to use Interactive Brokers to trade stocks under a dollar? They charge a per share fee for Canadians ( CAD 0.01 per share, Minimum order $1) and I was thinking if I was to trade tens of thousand to hundreds of thousand of shares of an OTC/NASDAQ stock would the commission fees take most of my profits? I'm kind of confused here whether I should find a broker that charges a flat fee for low priced stocks or just use IB. Thanks!

I use IB for low-priced stocks because most of the time I am shorting them and no brokers that have flat fee commissions will let me short stocks under a dollar but it is true that taking decent position sizes on cheap stocks will result in large commissions at IB. At least for US clients the max commission is 1% of trade value. If you do trade a lot of lower-priced stocks I recommend getting another broker for buying the cheap stocks

Fat finger mistake spotty wifi means I didn't actually sell SRAX when I thought I did, just refreshed my Interactive Brokers and sold it at 5.55, nice mistake, will do video lesson after the close, whewwwww

After 1 month of paper trading, I finally setup my account with Interactive Brokers Canada. Funds will be available for trading on September 26th. Really excited for it. Until then, study study and study more !

Hey all I have is $1000 to trade and need a little help with interactive brokers which account to choose?? They have all these Individual Investor or Trader, Family Office, Friends and Family Advisor,Hedge or Mutual Fund. I am also a Bahamian

I just opened an Interactive Brokers account with $11,000 funded! Starting small with this account and E-Trade which has $4,000. Will be under PDT for both accounts. But happy I can verify trades with those accounts. Using photos to verify with Merrill Edge. Will use those brokers exclusively for shorting.
